Why does my DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer have excessive overspray?
To address excessive overspray with your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer, first, try reducing the atomization air pressure. If that doesn't solve the problem, make sure you're holding the gun at the proper distance from the work surface. Also, ensure you are moving the gun at a moderate pace, parallel to the surface, avoiding arcing or excessively fast motions.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE leave a thick, dimpled finish?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer produces a thick, dimpled finish, often called "orange peel," several factors could be at play. First, ensure you're maintaining the correct distance from the surface, typically about 6-8 inches. Also, ensure that you are using the correct thinner and that the material is properly mixed, following the paint manufacturer's instructions. You might also need to increase air pressure or reduce fluid flow. Finally, ensure the surface is properly cleaned and prepared.
What to do if my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE Paint Sprayer produces a dry spray?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer is producing a dry spray, there are several potential causes. Start by reducing the air pressure. Also, ensure you are holding the gun at the proper distance from the work surface and that you are not moving the gun too fast. Finally, make sure the gun is properly adjusted.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE have a split spray pattern?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer's spray pattern is split, it could be due to several reasons. The atomization air pressure might be too high, so try reducing it. Alternatively, the fluid flow might be too low; increasing it can help. Adjusting the spreader valve might also be necessary.
Why will my DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer not spray?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer is not spraying, first, check that there is air pressure at the gun and blow out the gun air passages. Ensure the fluid needle adjusting screw is open enough. If you are using suction feed, the fluid might be too heavy, so thin the material, change to a larger tip size, or switch to pressure feed. Also, check that the fluid pressure is not too low, and increase it at the tank if necessary.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE Paint Sprayer produce excessive fog?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer is producing excessive fog, it could be due to too much or too fast-drying thinner. Make sure to remix the materials properly. It could also be caused by too much atomization air pressure, so try reducing the pressure.
Why does my DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer have a heavy center pattern?
If the DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer has a heavy center pattern, ensure that you balance the air pressure and fluid flow. You can also increase the spray pattern width using the spreader adjustment valve. If the material is too thick, thin it to the proper consistency or lower the fluid flow. Adjust the settings and increase the pressure as needed.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE Paint Sprayer have a jerky spray?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer has a jerky or fluttering spray, it might be due to a loose or damaged fluid tip/seat, so tighten or replace it. Ensure the baffle seal is installed correctly according to the directions. If the material level is too low, refill it. Holding the container more upright can also help. Check for any obstruction in the fluid passage and backflush with solvent if needed. Finally, check the fluid needle packing nut; if it's dry or loose, lubricate or tighten it.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE Paint Sprayer leave a thin, sandy finish?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer produces a thin, sandy, coarse finish that dries before it flows out, it could be due to the gun being too far from the surface, so check the distance, which should normally be approximately 6–8 inches. It could also be caused by too much air pressure, so reduce it and check the spray pattern. Finally, ensure you are using the proper thinner and follow the paint manufacturer's mixing instructions.
Why does my DeVilbiss TEKNA PRO LITE Paint Sprayer have a starved spray pattern?
If your DeVilbiss Paint Sprayer has a starved spray pattern, it could be due to inadequate material flow. Try backing the fluid adjusting screw out to the first thread, changing to a larger tip size, or increasing the fluid pressure at the tank. It could also be caused by low atomization air pressure, so increase the air pressure and rebalance the gun.
